I don't think there is currently a place where waf does not work. > Besides, autotools is the defacto build system for G* things, so i think > vala should use it. Sorry, but that is not an argument for using or not using a build system. You choose a build-tool to make your live easier as a developer. If you know all the magic of autotools, fine use it. If you don't know it, I don't think you should start learning it. Take a look at the config.log file of a random project and look at what autotools is checking, many are just absolute. (I think nobody cares anymore about the maximum length of the command line arguments.) A more modern build system does this more optimized and produces much faster builds.
